Was there a blue heaven flavour or did I just dream it.

Heh well i moved to Melb in 02, so half of those sales are probably from me.
But its good to see it becoming more popular here, it is becoming much easier to find now.
And the funniest thing is that it tastes exactly the same as all the other iced coffees on the market in Melbourne. Dare, Max, Big M, Farmers Union, they're all just sugar milk with a dash of instant coffee. Anyone that drinks that pizzle needs their heads read.
Give me Brownes Coffee Chill anyday, at least it actually tastes like coffee. Pity they don't sell it east of Cocklebiddy.

Big M stands for Masters over here in WA. But Browne's flavoured milks are much better.

Yeah there was one in the early 90s, didn't last long though IIRC.
Damn right. I pity the fools who are forced to drink BigM.

Chocolate
Why? It tastes exactly the bloody same as Farmers Union!!!!!
Milk + ********loads of sugar + a dash of instant coffee
Poor kid, i'm guessing you have never tasted Farmers Union Iced Coffee.
That's the thing....I go over to Adelaide fairly regularly (about twice a year - my girlfriends family is over there), and my addiction to coffee chill means i'm always looking for an eastern states substitute. So I generally cave into the marketing hype surrounding Farmers Union. But it is -to put it bluntly- cats p1ss, and exactly the same as Masters Iced Coffee, Big M, Dare, Max, and almost every other iced coffee on the market. No real coffee taste, and what coffee there is in there clearly just coffee powder, and even that is competely overpowered by sugar.
I'm sure i'll try it again next time i'm over there in March, but I wouldn't hold out much hope that it's altered it's cats p1ss recipe. How about putting some real coffee in there, drop the sugar content to below 50% and you might have a decent iced coffee.
I hadn't had a Big M for ages as the local canteen where I work had a low-fat chocolate drink in stock (which wasn't bad actually).
But I went to a shop last week where they had the 600ml Big M Chocolate and forgotten how much I used to enjoy it. Still the best chocolate drink going around for my money. Never really been interested in the other Big M flavours.
Now that's a bad commercial, 1980s style.

They actually think VB is a good drop over there so I doubt the greatest range of milk, FU, would get a gig.
Vics are tasteless.

Farmers Union sells here, tastes exactly the same as IC - Strong Iced Coffee
Only South Australians would try and get defensive or act superior about "their" milk.
Way too much state pride going on over there.
Exactly. You put Farmers Union in a Big M box and no South Aussie would touch it.

A bit off topic here (sorry) but there was a short lived flavoured milk in late 90's-early 00's that had a blokes name, tasted like shyte which is why it lasted all of 6 months i'm guessing

The best chocolate-flavoured milk in the known universe used to be made by Kiewa Dairies, in north-eastern Victoria. The highlight of every trip I ever made north by car, was to stock up on this stuff on the way. It tasted like real chocolate flavouring in real milk. Unlike the ertsatz crap they peddle now.
Having looked them up in the local phone directory for the area, it would appear they're no longer in business. That'd be right. Invent a great product market it widely and watch yourself go broke.

I remember it too but I never tried it. Wasn't it called Gary or something like that?
